Audrey Hepburn (奧黛麗·赫本) was born on May 4, 1929 in Brussels, Belgium. She really was blue-blood from the beginning with her father, a wealthy English banker, and her mother, a Dutch noblewoman. After her parents divorced, Audrey went to London with her mother where she went to a private girl school. Later, when her mother moved back to the Holland, she attended private schools as well. While taking a vacation with her mother in Arnhem, Holland, Hitler's army took over the town. It was here that she fell on hard times during the Nazi occupation. Audrey suffered from depression and poor nutrition.

After the liberation, Audrey went to a ballet school in London on a scholarship and later began a modeling career. As a model, she was graceful and, it seemed, she had found her job suitable for her in life - until the film producers came calling. After being spotted modeling by a producer, she was signed to a bit part in the European film Nederlands in 7 lessen in 1948. Later, she had a speaking role in the 1951 film, Young Wives' Tale (1951) as Eve Lester. The part still wasn't much, so she headed to America to try her luck there. Audrey gained immediate prominence in the US with her role in Roman Holiday in 1953. This film turned out to be a splendid success as she won an Oscar as Best Actress. This gained her enormous popularity and more plum roles. One of the reasons for her popularity was the fact that she was self-like, unlike the sex-goddesses of the time. Roman Holiday was followed by another similarly wonderful performance in the 1957 classic Funny Face.In 1988, Audrey became a special ambassador to the United Nations fund helping children in Latin America and Africa, a position she retained until 1993.Her elegance and style will always be remembered in film history as evidenced by her being named in Empire magazine's "The Top 100 Movie Stars of All Time."

It may help you to know that there is no such thing as a perfect speech．At some point in every speech, every speaker says something that is not understood exactly as he has planned．Fortunately, the moments are usually not obvious to the listeners. Why ? Because the listeners do not know what the speaker plans to say. They hear only what the speaker does say. If you lose your place for a moment, wrongly change the order of a couple of sentences, or forget to pause at a certain point, no one will be any the wiser．When such moments occur, don’t worry about them. Just continue as if nothing happened．

Even if you do make an obvious mistake during a speech, that don’t really matter. If you have ever listened to Martin Luther King’s famous speech – “ I have a dream”, you may notice that he stumble（結(jié)巴）his words twice during the speech．Most likely, however, you don’t remember．Why? Because you were fixing your attention on its message rather than on his way of speech-making. People care a lot about making mistakes in a speech because they regard speech-making as a kind of performance rather than as an act of communication. They feel the listeners are like judges in an ice-skating competition．But, in fact, the listeners are not looking for a perfect performer. They are looking for a well-thought-out speech that expresses the speaker’s ideas clearly and directly．Sometimes a mistake or two can actually increase a speaker’s attractiveness by making him more human．

As you work on your speech, don’t worry about being imperfect．Once you free your mind of this, you will find it much easier to give your speech freely．

60. The underlined part in the first paragraph means that no one will ___________．

     A．be smarter than you           

      B．notice your mistakes

     C．do better than you              

       D．know what you are talking about

61. You don’t remember obvious mistakes in a speech because ___________．

     A．your attention is on the content

     B．you don’t fully understand the speech

     C．you don’t know what the speaker plans to say

     D．you find the way of speech-making more important

62. It can be inferred from the passage that ___________．

     A．giving a speech is like giving a performance

     B．one to two mistakes in a speech may not be bad

     C．the listeners should pay more attention to how a speech is made

     D．the more mistakes a speaker makes, the more attractive he will be

63. What would be the best title of the passage? 

    A. How to Be a Perfect Speaker           

    B. How to Make a Perfect Speech

    C. Don’t Expect a Perfect Speech          

    D. Don’t Expect Mistakes in a Speech

If you are a male and you are reading this, congratulations: you are a survivor. According to statistics, you are more than twice as likely to die of skin cancer than a woman, and nine times more likely to die of AIDS. Assuming you make it to the end of your natural term, about 78 years for men in Australia, you will die on average five years before a woman.

There are many reasons for this, men take more risks than women and are more likely to drink and smoke, but perhaps more importantly, men don’t go to the doctor.

“Men aren’t seeing doctors as often as they should, ” says Dr. Gullotta, “This is particularly so for the over-40s, when diseases tend to strike.”Gullotta says a healthy man should visit the doctor every year or two. For those over 45,it should be at least once a year.

According to a recent survey, 95%of women aged between 15 and early 40s see a doctor once a year, compared to 70% of men in the same age group.

“A lot of men think they are invincible （不可戰(zhàn)勝的）”Gullotta says “They only come in when a friend drops dead on the golf course and they think 'Dear me, if it could happen to him, …' ”

Then there is the ostrich (鴕鳥)approach,“Some men are scared of what might be there and would rather not know, ” says Dr. Ross Cartmill.“ Most men get their cars serviced more regularly than they service their bodies,” Cartmill says. He believes most diseases that commonly affect men could be addressed by preventive check-ups. Regular check-ups for men would inevitably(不可避免地) place stress on the public purse. Cartmill says.“But prevention is cheaper in the long run than having to treat the diseases. Besides, the final cost is far greater.” 

68.What does the author state is the most important reason men die five years earlier on average than women?

A. Men drink and smoke much more than women.

B. Men aren’t as cautious as women in face of danger.

C. Men don’t seek medical care as often as women.

D. Men are more likely to suffer from fatal diseases.

69.Which of the following best completes the sentence “Dear me, if it could happen to him,…”in paragraph5 ?

A. I should avoid playing golf.

B. I should consider myself lucky.

C. it would be a big misfortune.

D. it could happen to me, too.

70.What does Dr. Ross Cartmill mean by “the ostrich approach” in paragraph6 ?

A. A new treatment for certain psychological problems.

B. Refusal to get medical treatment for fear of the pain involved.

C. Unwillingness to find out about one’s disease because of fear.

D. A casual attitude towards one’s health conditions.

71. What does Cartmill say about regular check-ups for men?

A. They may increase public expenses.

B. They will save money in the long run.

C. They may cause psychological stress on men.

D. They will enable men to live as long as women.
